Robert at Depth Perception made me feel very comfortable so we booked with them. The communication prior to arrival was excellent we knew what to expect coming in from out of state. Once we met him in person I knew we had made the right choice. Robert is a GREAT instructor. He took the time to get to know my daughter's level of comfort in and out of the water. He is very patient, his tone of voice is very level so super easy to understand and he is very knowledgeable. I noticed that he was respected at both dive sites we went to. After completion of open water certification he made sure that the proper forms were submitted back to the home dive shop. I highly recommend Dept Perception and Robert.

WOW! What an incredible experience, Adam you did wonderfully…read moresir. I appreciate all that you did and your wife and nick. You guys' rock man, I couldn't feel more confident then being certified by somebody I completely trust more. All gear is supplied apart from fins, goggles, suits, wet boots, and snorkel. For good reason too, the other equipment you can't buy without a dive card, and you shouldn't because you really need to get a feel for what you want out of dive gear. I would recommend just renting everything first so you can decide and make the right choice in gear, so you don't come to day 1 using snorkel fins haha. You can rent almost anywhere locally here in Tampa Bay just google it like you did this review. Adam is also a great source to ask questions about gear too very informative. I don't believe there is an actual physical site for Blue Divers, everything is done online first aka e-learning. I know I know ugh learning and reading and answering test questions but folks you need it to be safe. Adam is all about your safety btw and he will inform you many times about this and get in your face so don't worry someone will always be right there to help you. On the second day and final day of class we were at Devils Den, which was very beautiful. I can say firsthand that my wife had made the right choice choosing Blue Diver Scuba for our class. There were a few other instructors there and though they seemed nice I didn't quit get the same feeling of confidence and understanding that I did with Mr. Strickland. He really does engage you and make you feel apart of something, I believe its because of his high compassion for teaching in what he enjoys doing. Bravo sir and thank you for serving our country!

This was a great way for me to get back into diving and I'm excited for the next trip with them!

We explained what we needed and we also asked about certain equipment that other dive shops recommended. After explaining to us some things about the difference in manufactures, we asked if he could recommend some good and reliable equipment. He did just that and he explained a lot of the difference. And showed us what we needed and what would work best for us. And the other thing that stood out was the cost of each item he showed us. It was much less than several other dive shops we visited, AND I MEAN HALF OR MORE THAN HALF, than the other shops. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND AT LEAST PATRONIZE HOS SHOP before you decide to buy anywhere else. I promise that you won't be disappointed. He is a very nice man and I'm sure you will find this to be true.
